Meet The Founder | The Man Behind Just Ask Alex
In the early 1990s, at thirteen years old, I lived on a mile-long street in Naples, Italy, lined with homes on both sides. At the entrance of the street sat shared dumpsters, and each day I watched neighbors struggle to haul their trash down on foot or by car—an inconvenient task that often took 10–30 minutes round trip.
Seeing how difficult such a simple chore could be, I realized how much easier life could be with a helping hand.
One summer, inspired to do something about it, I attached my red Radio Flyer wagon to my bike and went door to door offering to carry trash to the dumpsters for a small fee. My neighbors weren’t just grateful—they were relieved. That experience taught me early on that helping people remove burdens, even small ones, is deeply rewarding.
Fast forward nearly thirty years, and I’ve come full circle. After two decades in fast-paced phone sales, I found myself drawn to hands-on work again—this time as the founder of Just Ask Alex Junk Removal, along with my beautiful wife, Chelsea. Clearing clutter, hauling away unwanted items, and restoring order to chaotic spaces felt natural. It wasn’t just junk removal; it was problem-solving with a visible impact.
Today, Just Ask Alex proudly serves homeowners, real estate agents, and property managers throughout Pierce County and King County, Washington, providing reliable junk removal, move-out cleanouts, and property preparation services.
At Just Ask Alex, our work is about more than hauling junk—it’s about helping people move forward, prepare homes for sale, and make room for what truly matters.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by clutter and need a helping hand, we’re here to help.
If you lack the time, truck, trailer, or energy and are wondering who to call—
Just Ask Alex.

10 STARS - EXCELLENT! I am a Realtor from out of area and had an urgent need for help with a project for family to help in downsizing and a significant move. Cannot say enough good about Alex and Chelsea. And my collaborative local area Realtor found them indispensable in the pre-work preparation for selling and the after-sale moving and removal. They really roll up their sleeves and get the job done efficiently and thoroughly. They thought “out of the box” to address special needs. They were a very important part of our “Village.” Honest, thorough, efficient and trustworthy! Just Ask Alex is now on speed dial for whenever I or family or friends need help in the area.

If you need a job done fast AND well, then you have to call Alex. Arriving with two people on site, he cleaned up an empty lot and front of an entire community that I help manage over the span of two days. Multiple trailer loads of miscellaneous waste, and even small trash like water logged paper soaked down into the ground. From big to small, Alex and his crew took care of what needed to be done.
The best part is, the entire process from start to end was documented with photos that I was able to compile in my report for the job being done. Super professional, and can't recommend them enough!— Google Review
